The Area Representatives will be invited to help with the set up, clean up and take down.Ý Hamburgers and hotdogs with the pot luck.Ý Garkane has large grills that can be signed for (Danny Clarkson if he accepts the assignment will bring them out).
Phil related that Barbara had been working on the well house design and had sent out requests for bids for the trenching on the water line project.Ý No word back yet.
After discussion it was decided that the steer would be put up for sale to the membership at the annual meeting.Ý The price would be 50 cents a pound more than the going market price because of the uniqueness of our own organic grown livestock.Ý Barbara and Tony to set price after checking the market. If agreeable with Brent Robinson we would arrange for him to take our cattle with his when he is ready. Members that buy the steer will have to make their own arraignments for removal from the Ranch.

New Business

1. Phil Hall described the problem with the run off on to the road below CrawfordÝÝÝÝÝ Canyon that crosses between the Ranch owned lots 74 and 75.Ý The Ranch has a small run off catch pond there that has filled in a lot over the years. Phil Hall expressed interest in elevating the road and improving the control of run- off water by improving the existing pond.Ý He volunteered the use of his D-8 cat and stated that Brent Fulmer and Barbara Button had looked over the area with him and felt that a lot could be done to improve the situation.Ý Phil Hall asked if he could haul some of the topsoil that would not be used to his lot in exchange for the use of his cat. This was approved.Ý For the present, Phil or Brent can use the D-8 and improve the situation. Care is to be taken to not totally block all water from reaching Ben Clarksonís ponds below the area in question.Ý Any major large pond construction would have to wait until more design work was done.Ý The general idea however was approved for some action now and further action in the future. Members of the Board were invited to try and look over the area when they had a chance.

2. Ý Phil Hall presented a booklet he proposed be distributed to the members that attended the annual meeting rather than single sheets of paper containing the following;Ý 1) Agenda of the meetingÝ 2) Reports and information pertaining to the various Ranch committees.Ý 3) Copy of the notes from those running for the Board.Ý 4) The financial review report to be given by Larry Walters 5) Barbaraís Ranch managers report (information) to be given at the annual meeting 6) any other information Phil could put together concerning the Ranchís progress and projects for the future.Ý It was approved by all to have Barbara take the information from Phil and print it in bound form to distribute at the annual meeting.
